Enough

Enough is too much

Enough is too much.

I fill my mind with positivity,
If I can see it, feel it then it can be,
My greatest desire is no longer material,
But something more important and infinity more real.

I worked out the problem is status and material things,
Always transient, impermanent and fair weather friends.
I know that I have and can give more than enough,
So limiting desires and excess isn’t so tough.

But the question is if you could give away all that you own,
Then shouldn’t you start creating to enable the sharing to be done,
Too many a spiritual people believe money is a curse,
But deciding not to use your gift to share is just so much worse.

So convinced I am in my position today,
That I regularly give money and assets away,
Only to have it return in a novel unexpected manner to me
Proving that being unattached to material things is what sets me free.

Recently I had a conversation about how much is enough,
Unconsidered before the thinking on this was quiet tough,
It would appear that abundance of money is still the benchmark,
But I replied no these are things that are only a start.

Poverty today takes many forms and points of view,
When money today can’t buy health, love or honesty for you.
Agreed money gives you many more options indeed,
But successful people didn’t start with money just passion to succeed.

So enough in my mind is what you can comfortably give away,
Without affecting your life detrimentally each day,
The irony is the more of this that you do,
The universe then notices it and sends it right back to you.

It may come in another form, or different in kind,
But giving is generosity and a thankful state of mind,
It’s why I don’t lack and abundantly I live,
So “enough” is too much and why I continue to give.
